^335 vi. James Francis,^ born September 26th, 1828; died
December 29th, 183 1, at Saco, Maine, and was
probably buried there; a child of George'^
Thacher, Jr., died at Saco, Maine, December
29th, 183 1, according to Saco published Vital
Records, and it is assumed by me that it was
this child. No. 1335, as all the others were alive
at that time.

George'^ Thacher was partly fitted for college by Joseph Adams
(H. C., 1805), who was a private tutor in his father's family (I
imagine he was the same Joseph Adams who married George^
Thacher's sister, see Record No. 772) ; he completed his prepara-
tory studies at Gorham, Maine, Academy under the instruction of
Rev. Reuben Nason (H. C, 1802). He studied law with Hon.
Cyrus King of Saco, Maine, and began practice in that place in
181 5, where he continued until 1835. For five (5) years he was
senior partner in the law firm of Gov. Fairchild and for several
years he was Registrar of Probate of York Co., Maine. In 1835
he left Saco for Monroe, Maine, where he remained until 184 1,
where he was appointed by President Tyler, Collector of the Port
of Belfast, Maine, and removed to that place. After the expira-
tion of his commission he returned to Monroe, where he resumed
the practice of his profession and remained there until 1853, when
he removed to Westford, Mass. Mr. Thacher was a gentleman of
most pleasing address and distinguished for his generous qualities.
He had a deep sense of the importance of truth and justice, and
discharged every duty with conscientious integrity. Believing the
truth and importance of Christian religion, he was a firm supporter
of public worship, a communicant and constant attendant in the
ordinances of the gospel.

I have been singulajly unsuccessful in obtaining a complete
and satisfactory record of the above Lewis' Thacher and his
descendants. Under date of January 4th, 1905, Mrs. Lucy Savage
(Thacher) Van Antwerp wrote me that on that date the children,
Nos. 1348, 1350 and 1351 were dead and had been dead for some
time, but could give no dates or information as to whether they
had married or not. She stated that about 1865 she remembers
that No. 1349, Catherine De Wolfe® (Thacher) Jones, came to her
house in Schenectady, N. Y., with a child, a daughter about 10 or
12 years of age. She had no further recollections of her and knew
of the post office address of none of her descendants.

for San Francisco, and that he heard from, him a few times there-
after, but had not heard from him in 1904 for some 40 years. In
1913 Lawrence Park informs me that James Dabney^ Savage in
1849 attended a private school at Medfield, Mass. In 1853 he
sailed for San Francisco and was not heard of after 1866.

Captain Joseph Savage (father of Charles Tyler Savage), was
a Captain of Artillery in the Revolutionary War and was a member
of the Society of the Cincinnati, which honor was inherited
by his son, Charles Tyler Savage, and again subsequently inherited
by his son, William Henry® Savage, No. 1352. Captain Charles
Tyler Savage went to sea at the early age of 12 years. At 21 years
of age he commanded a ship. All the education he ever got was
at sea during his leisure hours ; he was a self-made man. At 40
years of age he retired from the sea and subsequently went into
various kinds of business, and finally, in 1855, ^^^ bought a small
farm in Harvard, Mass., where he died, November 5th, 1879. He
was admitted a member of Essex Lodge of Freemasons at Salem,
Mass., on March 15th, 1820.

tionary War he was a W'liig, and was on many Committees and
did much good service in the cause. In his will he left legacies to
his grandsons, James and Joseph Lovell, and the remainder of his
estate he dixided ec|ually between his daughters, Charlotte and Polly
(Mary) Sturgis. On May 5, 1795. John Palfrey, Esq., of Boston,
was appointed guardian of Charlotte^ Gorham. Sturgis Gorham's
estate was settled April 13th, 1802, and after paying legacies it
amounted to £683-13-10. His real estate was sold to Elijah Smith,
of Chatham, for £900.

A Joshua Hinckley (son of Jabez and Deborah (Wing) Hinck-
ley of Barnstable, Mass.), was born at Barnstable, March 2nd, 1779.
He may have been the Joshua Hinckley who married the above Eliz-
abeth^ Thacher, as at the time of her marriage in 1802 he was 23
years of age and hence of a suitable marriageable age, and, more-
over, about the age of No. 833, who was probably born subsequent
to 1780. This is a surmise only, not a positive statement. The
above Joshua Hinckley's father, Jabez Hinckley, was born at Barn-
stable, October 24th, 1741, and died there February — , 1817, and
married , 1764, to Deborah Wing.

Hon. Col. John,^ Antony,- Rev. Peter^), born December 3rd,
1753, "12 o'clock at night," at Norwalk, Conn.; died August

4-1438 i. Burr,* born ; died .

The above Peter Hendricks bought land in Norwalk, house and
homestead, with mill and dam at Dry Hill, in 1786, he being then of
Norwalk, late of Fairfield. In 1787 he bought a small piece of ad-
joining land. He sold house on Dry Hill in 1792 and disappears
from records. He either died or moved away. Burr Hendricks, a
grandson of Josiah'' Thacher, is mentioned in the will of Josiah®
Thacher, July 15th, 1806; see Vol. I., p. 171, Norwalk, Conn., Pro-
bate Records.

Selleck's Nonvalk, p. 452, is in error in stating that Mary^

Thacher married Betts ; it was her sister Hannah' Thacher who

married Isaiah Betts (see No. 835).

429

C. E. Durkee (of Saratoga, N. Y.), and Edward Doubleday
Harris in their copy of Sadler Cemetery Inscriptions, Saratoga
Springs, N. Y., gives the following item: "Burr Hendrick, died
April 7th, 1829." It is possible that this is the above Burr^ Hen-
drick (No. 1438).

Schenck's History of Fairfield, Conn., Vol. I., page 490, gives
the following item : "Peter, son of John and Phebe Hendrick, bap-
tized at Fairfield, Conn., May 22nd, 1737." This may be the record
of the baptism of Peter Hendricks who married Mary^ Thacher.
If so, he was 48 years old at date of his marriage to her.

Bailey's Early Conn. Marriages, Vol. VI, p. 40, gives the fol-
lowing item: "Peter Hendrick and Sarah Allen were married at
Fairfield, Ct., July nth, 1776. It is possible that this may be the
Peter Hendricks who married Mary^ Thacher and that he married
first as above to Sarah Allen, and she died, and he may have on
May 19th, 1785, taken Mary^ Thacher as his second wife. This
seems not improbable, as 48 years old was rather late in life for a
first marriage. These notes are, however, simply suggestions to
future genealogists, as I have not absolute evidence except what I
have given above, except the statement made by Miss Caroline
Parmelia Pulling in August, 1882, to Miss Julia Redfield of Pitts-
field, Mass., to the efifect that Hannah^ (Thacher) Betts, her grand-
mother, had a sister who left descendants that lived near Saratoga,
which would seem to point to Burr Hendrick and possibly also his
father, Peter Hendrick.

quality and the latter brought the highest price in the market. She
did lier own milking after night-fall and made her butter at mid-

was her refrigerator.

John Lewis (father of John Lewis), who married Margaret^
Hayes, was a son of Moses Lewis of New London, Conn., and was
baptized at New London, Conn., July 17th, 1720. I am informed
by Carl A. Lewis, the compiler of Lewisiana (P. O. address, Hamp-
ton, Conn.), that descendants of Isaac Hayes^ Lewis claim that John
Lewis (father of John Lewis who married Margaret^ Hayes) was
a son of John Lewis by his wife, Elizabeth Huhtley, who lived and
died at Lyme, Conn. Both Carl A. Lewis and I find this statement
inconsistent with known facts relative to John Lewis of Lyme and
his descendants. He was a son of Moses Lewis of New London,
Conn., and was baptized at New London, July 17th, 1720 (see
Hempstead's Diary, p. 99). Moses Lewis of New London, Conn.,
v/as a son of John Lewis of New London, Conn., by his wife,

Elizabeth Huntley. This John Lewis was born in , England,

and came over to this country in 1635 with his father, John Lewis,
on the ship Hercules, and finally settled in New London, Conn. ; he
was a young man in 1670 and was over 30 years old in 1685; he
was constable in New London in 1681 and was sergeant of the train

433

band after 1700. He died at New London, May 8th, 1717, being
killed by being hit on the head by the limb of a tree that he was
having felled for the bark thereof, while he sat on horseback under
the tree, and was buried in New London, May 9th, 17 17 (see
Hempstead's Diary, p. 66) ; he married at New London, Conn.,
May 24th, 1677, to Elizabeth Huntley (daughter of John and Jane

( ) Huntley of Lyme, Conn.), born at ; died December

26th, 1741, at Groton, Conn, (a very aged woman), at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. William Latham.

John Lewis, who married Elizabeth Huntley, was a son of John
Lewis, the emigrant ancestor to this country, who came over to
Scituate, Mass., in 1635, arriving on the ship Hercules with his

wife, Sarah (?) and i child (John^ Lewis of New London).

John Lewis the emigrant had settled in New London, Conn., by
1648, and was a freeman there before 1669 ; he died at New London,

Conn., December 8th, 1676. His wife, Sarah Lewis, died at

Boston, Mass., July 12th, 1657 (12th of 5th month, 1757). So the
line of John Lewis, who married Margaret^ Hayes, was: John,^
the emigrant, who died in New London, December 8th, 1676; John,^
who died in New London, May 8th, 1717; Moses^ (whose son, John,
was baptized at New London, July 17th, 1720) ; John,* baptized
New London, July 17th, 1720; died at Killingworth, Conn., August
24th, A. D. 1786, in 67th year of her age (hence born after August
24th, 1719) ; John,^ born Killingworth, Conn., July 27th, 1760, who
married Margaret^ Hayes.

In the distribution of the estate of Sergeant John Lewis, Eliza-
beth Lewis, administratrix, among the signatures of children who
receipted for their shares is that Moses'' Lewis.

From the list of pensioners of the United States, 1833, pub-
lished by order of the U. S. Congress we find: "1833 Revolution-
ary Pensioners, N. Y. State, Delaware Co. : Josiah Thatcher,
'Matross', Connecticut Militia, Pension allowance per year, $52.31.
Placed on roll September 9th, 1833, aged 69."

Mrs. E. S. Upham, grand-daughter of Rev. William^ Thacher
(brother of Josiah^ Thacher), says that Josiah^ Thacher, her
uncle, was 4 years and 8 months older than her father; hence as
Rev. Wni." Thacher was born April 3rd, 1769, Josiah^ Thacher
was bom August — , 1764; which date of birth agrees with his
age in 1833. as given in his pension record above.

Rev. Wm.^ Thacher, in his diary, says: "On the 22nd of Au-
gust, 1845. I was visited by my aged brother, Josiah Thacher,
on his way from Sidney, Delaware Co., N. Y., once more to see

437

the town of his birthplace (Norwalk, Conn.), and some of his
children there and in New York ; he was then in his 82nd year, and
was in care of his daughter, who came with him from Sidney."

The will of Josiah'^ Thacher, dated March 2nd, 1841, and the
codicil thereto, dated November ist, 1847, are both on file in the
Surrogate's Office of Delaware Co., N. Y., at Delhi, N. Y. In the
will he mentions his wife (name not specified), daughter, Sally
Thacher; son, George Thacher; son-in-law, John M. Betts, and
daughters, Esther Seymour, Harriet Beach, Ann R. Betts, Amelia
Hurd, Frances Betts and grand-daughter, Eliza Redfield. His wife
being mentioned in will, it is to be inferred that she was living at
its date, March 2nd, 1841. In the codicil to his will he mentions
his daughters, Sally Thacher, Amelia Hurd; son, George Thacher;
grand-daughter, Eliza Redfield ; daughters, Esther Seymour, Har-
riet Beach, Amelia Hurd, Ann R. Betts, Frances Betts. Executors
of will, his son, George Thacher; son-in-law, John M. Betts; wit-
nesses to will, James Flughston and William J. Hughston. Wit-
nesses to codicil, Robert S. Hughston and Wm. J. Hughston, all
of Sidney, N. Y. From the fact that his wife is not mentioned in
the codicil, it is to be inferred that she had died before its date,
November ist, 1847, ^^d as his eldest daughter, Polly Street®
(Thacher) Smith, is not mentioned either in will or codicil, it is
fair to presume that she was dead, without issue, before March
2nd, 1841, unless the grand-daughter, Eliza Redfield, mentioned in
will and codicil was her daughter.

Rev. William^ (Greenleaf?) Thacher was a man of much
prominence in the Methodist Church; he left a manuscript auto-
biography in two volumes, which was loaned to me by his grand-
daughter, Mrs. Upham. On the front cover of this work he men-
tions his daughters, Eliza Richman, Mary Ann Gilbert and Amanda
Reynolds, and his son, Charles Augustus ; and states that on Au-
gust 23rd, 1 85 1, that he was in his 83rd year. The following ex-
tracts, taken from his own writings, give in my own words, a
brief outline of his life and usefulness : In 1779 or '80 the Thacher
homestead in Norwalk was burned to the ground by Governor
Tryon in his general burning of the town in his endeavor to put
down the revolutionary spirit of the place. At the age of 14 (about
1783) William'^ Thacher was apprenticed to ''Mr. S. B.,'' a tailor,
then residing in Newtown, Conn., and who two years thereafter
moved to New Haven, taking William Thacher with him. At 19
years of age he obtained temporary leave of absence from his ap-
prenticeship by purchase, and in 1788 went to New York City,
where, in the John Street Church, he first heard of the Methodist
faith. In 1789 he went to Baltimore and was converted to Metho-
dism and admitted to that church in Baltimore on probation by
Rev. Henry Willis, June 21st, 1790. He returned to Connecticut
in 1790, and on March 3rd, 1790, he, together with his cousin,
Partridge^ Thacher of Poundridge, N. Y., were parties to a lease

of land in Stratford, Conn., being described as William G. ( ?)

Thacher, which leads me to suppose that he had a middle name,
probably Greenleaf ; and on October of that year went to reside in
Kipton, in Fairfield Co., Conn. In 1791, in April, there was a
petition against him in Kipton for being a dangerous person as a
Methodist. In June, 1791, he left Kipton for New York City, stop-
ping at Stratford, Conn., where he obtained a letter from Jesse Lee
recommending him to New York Methodists. He became a boarder
in Pearl Street, New York City, three doors east of Peck Slip,
and there was taken with the yellow fever, from which he recov-
ered. In October of 1791 he went, on the invitation of his cousin,
John Banks (then a resident of Petersburgh, Virginia), to Virginia,
and there remained two years and then returned to New Haven,
Conn., and set up at his trade. John Banks was a "taylor" in
Petersburgh and William' Thacher acted as his foreman. He made
a trip to New Haven in August, 1792, and while there, on Novem-
ber 3rd, 1792, was married to his first wife, Anna Munson, and
returned in December of that year to Petersburgh, Va., finally
leaving there on account of his health, July 2nd, 1793. The John
Banks with whom he was associated in Virginia was probably the
son of John Banks who married Hannah" Thacher (see record

441

No. 271). William'^ Thacher was not accompanied by his wife
while in Virginia. On his return to New Haven he opened up a
shop. He was licensed to preach in October, 1795. September
28th, 1797, he became a travelling preacher at $120.00 a year. He
was admitted to the New York conference in New York City, June
19th, 1799, and was appointed to Pomfret, Conn., circuit; he was
pastor of West Thompson, Conn., Methodist Church in 1799. In
1800 he was in Armenia, N. Y., and Litchfield, Conn. In 1802 he
was attached to the New Rochelle and Croton circuits; in 1803 he
was in Yonkers, N. Y. ; and in 1804 in New York City. His family
had removed to New Haven, Conn., where they made their home
with his father-in-law, Israel Munson. In 1804-1807 he was Pre-
siding Elder of the Methodist Church of the district of Bridgeport,
Conn.; in 1810 he was in Brooklyn, N. Y., and in 1818-1819 in
Schenectady, N. Y. ; 1820-1822, in New Haven, Conn.; 1822, at
Philadelphia, Pa., at the conference, and there stationed; 1824, at
Newark, New Jersey; 1826, Trenton, N. J.; and in 1828 Presiding
Elder at Philadelphia, Pa.; 1831, at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. ; 1833, at
New Haven, Conn. ; 1834, Newburgh, N. Y. ; 1837, Flushing, N. Y. ;
1839, Williamsburgh and Newtown, L. I., N. Y. ; 1840, at Norwalk,
Conn.; 1841, at Woodbury, Conn. In 1842 he purchased a home
in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and in 1843 he was attached to the Dutchess
Co., N. Y., Circuit, with home at Poughkeepsie; in 1846 he was
retired from active ministerial work. I have given this sketch of
his life to call attention to wanderings of the early Methodist
preachers.

Liber I, p. 543, Dutchess Co., N. Y., Probate Records at
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., records the will of Rev. William'' (Greenleaf)
Thacher ; and in it he mentions : his son. Dr. Charles A. Thacher,
leaving him one-half of his library, wearing apparel and estate; his
daughter, Phebe Amanda, wife of William Winans Reynolds, the

other half ; he also mentions Mary L , daughter of Phebe

Amanda Reynolds. To the Rev. Benjamin Griffin of the New
York Conference he leaves money to publish his (the testator's)
memorial, and whatever is left of the money to the Methodist Book
Concern. Rev. Abel Stevens to edit the testator's poems. He also
left a bequest to his eldest daughter, Eliza Richman of New Haven.
Whenever his children are mentioned together Phebe is mentioned
first, Eliza second, and Charles A. third in order.' In the adminis-
tration papers of the estate are mentioned Mary Ann Gilbert, de-
ceased, daughter of the testator, and her children, William, Luther,
Howard and Emily, all of New Haven, Conn., of whom Luther
was a minor. In the administration papers, dated July 24th, 1856,
and proved April 26th, 1872, Charles A. Thacher of Maysville,
Greenbriar Co., Va., is cited to attend probate of the will.

From the History of Methodism in New York City, 1766-1890,
by Seaman, we obtain the following: "Year 1804, The New York
District had Wm. Thacher for presiding elder. The name of
Thacher has been met with before ; but now for the first time he
becomes associated with Methodism in New York City. He was

442

born in 1769, in the town of Norwalk, Conn., and was converted
in Baltimore in 1790. He began to preach in New Haven in 1795,
where his family formed the nucleus of the Methodist Church in
that city. In 1797 he was admitted on trial into the New York
Conference and labored in the States of Connecticut and New
York until he was placed over the New York District. He after-
wards filled important appointments in the New York and Phila-
delphia conferences, and becoming superanuated in 1846, made his
residence in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., where he died August 2nd, 1856.
His pulpit exercises were brief, pointed and practical."

Anna (Munson) Thacher, the first wife of Rev. Wm. Thacher,
was buried in the New Burying Ground in New Plaven. Her heirs
received from her father's estate $1,725.00, including one-third of
home lot, one-half of house, together with privilege of kitchen oven
and outside passage with cellar and one-third of barn. Her daugh-
ters, Eliza and Mary Ann, were heirs of Israel Munson.

In July, 1820, the Methodists in New Haven obtained per-
mission to build a new church on the northwest corner of the upper
green. Rev. Wm. Thacher was instrumental in collecting funds
to accomplish the object and in May, 1821, the cornerstone was
laid ; but the incomplete building was demolished by the September
gale. The church was rebuilt and stood until 1848, when, encour-
aged by the ofifer of the City of New Haven of the sum of $5,000.00,
they transferred the Sanctuary to the corner of Elm and College
Streets. It is known to this day as the First Methodist Church.

On June 21st, 1784, Thaddeus Betts of Norwalk, Conn., was
appointed guardian of William'^ Thacher, a minor. William'^
Thacher was an heir under the terms of the will of his uncle,
Stephen Greenleaf*^ Thacher, by whom he had been adopted in
accordance with a promise made by Stephen Greenleaf' Thacher to
William^ Thacher's dying mother ; and Stephen Greenleaf "^ Thacher
dying at the age of 34 years, left William' Thacher a legacy of £50
in his will and left him in the care of his widow, Ann (Piatt)
Thacher, who married as her second husband Captain Samuel
Keeler.

Rev. William^ Thacher lived while in New York City in 181 1
at No. 400 Pearl Street; in 1815-16, at No. 445 Pearl Street, in
which residence his second wife, Martha (Oakley) Thacher, lived
and kept a millinery shop. In 1816-17 he lived in same house and
in 1 818-19 at No. 447 Pearl Street, and continued living there, his
wife keeping up the millinery shop, until 1823, according to the
New York City Directories of those years.

From Stratford, Conn., Land Records, we obtain the follow-
ing: \'ol. 36^4, p. 15a, March 3rd, 1790: Partridge Thatcher and
William G. Thatcher purchase 30 feet square in Stratford for the
purpose of building a Bake House. Vol. 20, p. 76a, 3rd Tuesday
of November, 1796, judgment entered by Partridge Thatcher of
Pound Ridge against William G. Thatcher of Stratford, Conn., for
$208.74. March i6th, 1797, said lot of 30 feet square appraised
at $217.45. Vol. 27, p. 296, Partridge Thatcher of Pound Ridge
sells his interest in above mentioned 30 feet square on November
nth, 1799, for $60.00. From which it would appear that Part-
ridge Thatcher was at one time a resident of Stratford, Conn.,
which is more than likely, as it was the home of his father. The
William G. Thatcher mentioned in these land transactions must
have been Rev. William^ Thacher (No. 844), as there was no other
William Thacher thereabouts at that time and he was an own
cousin of Partridge' Thacher of Pound Ridge and might very
likely have been interested with him in business. If such was the
case the initial "G" of his middle name probably stood for Green-
leaf, a name much used in baptisms of descendants of Josiah^
Thacher of Norwalk by his second wife, who was born a Green-
leaf. Rev. William^ Thacher, however, seldom, if ever, in later
life used this middle name. Partridge'^ Thacher (No. 845) must
not be confounded with Partridge Thacher of New Milford, Conn.,
who was living at the same time and who was a descendant of Rev.
Thomas'* Thacher of Old South Church, Boston, who was a nephew
of Antony- Thacher of Yarmouth, Mass., whose descendants we
are now concerned with.

In early life he entered the Military Academy
at West Point, but did not graduate, as his
somewhat wild nature in youth rendered him
irksome of discipline. He was associated at
various times in business with his brothers,
John Christophers* Thatcher and George
Thompson* Thatcher, and later with his nephew,
General Alexander James" Perry, U. S. Army,
for whom he acted many years as his confi-

447

dential secretary. He served in the Civil War

City. He was named after Henry Perkins (8th
child of Dr. Elisha Perkins of Plainfield,

and almost 4 months in the room in that house
that she had continuously occupied from early
childhood. She was named after her mother's
sister. She was well known and beloved by all
of her contemporaries, as well as by many of
younger generations, and was a special favorite
of the compiler of these notes, her nephew.

died September 22nd, 1810, at New London,
Conn., and was buried there in Cedar Grove
Cemetery, and an inscription to her memory

was named after Elizabeth (Christophers) Wet-
more, wife of Ichabod Wetmore of Middle-
town, Conn., who was first cousin of her grand-
mother, Lucretia Christophers, who married
John Mumford of Salem, Conn. She did not
marry. Although of delicate constitution from

448

infancy, yet she lived to the advanced age of
nearly 85 years, and to the last could read the
finest print without the aid of glasses. She
lived in the Thatcher homestead, corner of
Main and Masonic Streets from birth, until
about 1890, w^hen it was sold; after which she
made her home in the well known boarding
house of Mrs. Charlotte Graham, corner of
Union and Federal Streets, in New London, in
company with her sisters, Mrs. Totten and Mrs.
Robinson, in which house she and these two
sisters died.
-I-1507 xii. Mary Perkins,® born October i6th, 1830; died
February 24th, 1909 ; married Colonel Augustus
Oilman Robinson, U. S. Army.

In addition to the above mentioned 12 children, there were
born to Anthony" Thatcher and his wife twins, Anthony® and
Antoinette,® both of whom died in infancy.

Anthony^ Thatcher and all of his children have always spelled
their surname with a second "t" (Thatcher), although his father
before him spelled his name Thacher. He lived in Stratford, Conn.,
until he reached man's estate, and then removed to New London,
Conn., probably induced to make this move by the fact that his
half-brother, Isaac Thompson, had preceded him there in business.
He there went into the shipping business in the employ of Mr.
Butler, and while in his employ made several voyages as super-
cargo to the ports of Havana, Cuba, and New Orleans, La. Upon
the incorporation of the Old New London Bank, in May, 1807,
with a capital of $150,000, Elias Perkins was made the first Presi-
dent thereof and Anthony Thatcher its first cashier, which position
he held for some 35 years ; in fact, until within two or three years
of his death, when owing to ill health, he was compelled to retire
from active business. He was also a silent partner in the drug
business with his half-brother, Isaac Thompson, which business
was carried on in the building belonging to these partners on the
northeast corner of State and Main Streets. When married the
ceremony was performed at the home of his half-brother, Isaac
Thompson, on the corner of Bank and Tilley Streets, by the Rev.
Charles Seabury, of the P. E. Church of New London. Imme-
diately after his marriage he and his wife lived in a house belong-
ing to Nathaniel Shaw, on Truman Street, where their first two
children were born, after which they moved to the house on the
northwest corner of Main and State Streets, opposite to the drug
business of Isaac Thompson. Fie subsequently moved to the
house on the southwest corner of Main and Masonic Streets, where
his child, Eloise Hardy® Thatcher, and his subsequent children were
born. The property consisted of some seventy-five feet on Main
Street and about 200 feet on Masonic Street. Anthony" Thatcher
bought the property from the brother of Captain John French,
who resided in Norwich, and who, after commencing to build the

449

house, sold it in an unfinished condition to Anthony^ Thatcher. On
this lot and south of the Thatcher homestead (and belonging to
the property), there stood at the time of this purchase another
frame house of earlier date of construction, which house remained
standing until some time in 1892, when it was torn down on account
of its demolished condition. Mr. Thatcher completed the building
of the house and it became the permanent residence of himself and
wife, and so remained as the residence of his family until some
time about 1900, when it was sold by the heirs of the estate. By
faith Mr. Thatcher was a Protestant Episcopalian, as was also his
wife, and in that belief he brought up his numerous family, each
individual member of which remained in that church during life.
After his death, which was occasioned by general constitutional
breakdown, he was buried in the Old Second Burial Ground, cor-
ner of State and Hempstead Streets (since converted into a park),
and Miss Caulkins, in her History of New London, speaking of the
beauties of this burial place, states : *'The marble monument to the
memory of Anthony Thatcher — a cubic pedestal, tastefully deco-
rated and surmounted with a fluted circular shaft — is a beautiful
production of art." After the establishment of Cedar Grove Cem-
etery, the monument, together with his remains and those of his
family that were buried there, were removed to the Thatcher lot
in Cedar Grove Cemetery, the removal of the remains being super-
vised by the Rev. Robert Hallam, then Rector of St. James P. E.
Church, in New London.

Lucretia Christophers (Mumford) Thatcher, his widow, sur-
vived him and continued living in the Thatcher homestead until
her death, which occurred at the advanced age of 85 years, 7 months
and 27 days. She was a woman of sterling qualities and of pro-
nounced domestic tastes, living quietly in old-time simplicity in the
midst of her family circle. By birth and her own social qualities
she included amongst her friends all who were the best in those old
New London times. It is worthy of note in these days of small
families and decreasing longevity that she was the mother of 14
children, two of whom died in infancy, and two dying in early life,
while the other ten reached the allotted share of man's life of three
score years, some of them even passing beyond the four score mile-
stone of life. Her funeral ceremonies were conducted by the Rev.
Robert Hallam of the P. E. Church, and she was laid at rest in
Cedar Grove Cemetery, where her memory is preserved by an in-
scription on the Thatcher monument. In her veins was mingled
strains of the Brewster, Christophers, Saltonstall and Gardiner
blood, representing the best in those days of her home surroundings.

Stephen^ Thacher lived in Wareham, Mass., until he was sev-
enteen years old, at which time his father decided to remove to
Lee, whither some of his friends had already preceded him. He
was determined to move, but the question of how and when he
became important, for in those days railroads were unknown and a
journey of 150 miles was as much of an undertaking as a journey
from Boston to San Francisco would be now. It was finally
decided to move in February while the sleighing was good. Accord-
ingly a large ox-sled was provided, upon which the household goods
were loaded, and which was drawn by a yoke of oxen, with a horse
in the lead. They started about the 20th of the month and were
seventeen days on the trip, striking the Boston and Albany turn-
pike, the great thoroughfare of those days, near Worcester. So
long were they upon the road that the same stages and drivers passed
and repassed them several times on their trips between Boston and
Albany. They arrived at their destination on Saturday. News of
their coming had preceded them, and a company of their old friends
came out to escort them in, meeting them near what is now known
as "Green Water Pond," in the town of Becket. Deacon Roland®
Thacher bought a farm of about 300 acres a little north of the
village of Lee. Stephen^ Thacher remained on his farm about
three years, and there determined to ship as a whaler, which was
then a very profitable business. Accordingly in the spring of 1801
he went to Hudson, N. Y., for that purpose ; but, finding no imme-
diate chance to ship, he procured work, intending to remain there
until a good opportunity presented itself. None, however, ofi^ering
itself, he returned home in the autumn, where he remained until
the following spring, when he, in company with others, engaged
to labor on the turnpike then being built between Albany and
Schenectady, N. Y. He continued on this work five seasons of
seven months each, a part of the time as overseer. Returning to
Lee, he engaged in manufacturing, and was the pioneer in several
important enterprises, building a powder mill, which he operated
until the embargo of 1809 caused its suspension in 181 1. He also
built a wire factory and continued the manufacture of wire until
after the War of 1812, when English wire coming in, he could not
compete with it. He also built and operated a chair factory for
several years. He built the first paper mill on the Housatonic River
in Lee, and remained in this business until his retirement from active
life in 1852. In connection with this he established the manufacture
and sale of Navarino bonnets, which were very popular and fashion-
able at that time, and for a season this proved a very profitable
business. His mind was always active and of an inventive turn,
he was always seeking to improve upon the methods then employed ;
and thus he introduced many useful improvements in the manu-
facture of paper, some of which are still in use. Not content with
the manner of manufacturing paper a sheet at a time and by hand,
he conceived the idea of making it in a continuous sheet by machin-
ery. He obtained a reluctant consent from his partners and an
appropriation of $1,500.00 from the firm to experiment in that

472

direction. The result was that in less than six weeks and before
the appropriation was exhausted, he presented a sheet of paper
of the ordinary width and several feet in length. His partners were
astonished. This invention of his was the origin of the cylinder
machine for the manufacture of paper, which is still used in many
mills. Stephen'^ Thacher possessed the confidence and esteem of the
entire community and was honored with many important trusts.
He was appointed Justice of the Peace for seven successive terms,
28 years in all; he was known as Squire Thacher so long that his
baptismal name was almost forgotten, and was in fact unknown
to many. He was a member of the Massachusetts Legislature, 1829-
183 1, and while in that body was the originator of measures that
were of much value to manufacturers, especially to owners of mill
sites. In the year 1852, being somewhat advanced in years and
desirous of retiring from active business, he sold out his interests
in Lee and removed to Saratoga Springs, where he lived until his
death. ■ ■

died March 9th, 1819, aged i month, 21 days,
and was buried in Trinity Church Graveyard,

The tradition in regard to Mr. Thacher's marriage to Ann Bow-
ditch is that he first saw her in the street and, being attracted by
her personality, followed her home, found out her name, and sub-
sequently made her acquaintance. She was at the time engaged to a
gentleman by the name of Poor. Mr. Thacher one evening while
paying a game of forfeits with a party including Miss Bowditch
was, as a penalty in the game, required to marry Miss Bowditch ; the
ceremony was performed in jest by one of the guests, who after-
wards was found out to be a Justice of the Peace, and, according
to the then existing laws of Massachusetts, this make-believe mar-
riage was binding. They were subsequently married again. Mr.
Thacher was a prosperous merchant in Boston until the embargo
of 1812, which compelled him to suspend business there. He after-
wards removed to Philadelphia, where he died, leaving his family
in poor circumstances. Mr. Poor, the former fiance of Miss Bow-
ditch, saw her daughters in the street and, attracted by their likeness
to their mother, followed them home and, renewing his friendship
with Mrs. Thacher in her destitution, aided the family in their need.
The following inscription taken from Latham's Epitaphs of Old
Bridgewater, Mass., is to be found in Trinity Church Graveyard,
Bridgewater.

" 'They are even as asleep, and fade away suddenly as the
grass.' This stone records the departure from life of two infants
dear to affection and to memory :• — Mary Gray, died December 20th,
1817, aged 4 months and 18 days. Samuel Bowditch died March
9th, 1819, aged I month and 21 days. Children of Lothrop R. and
Ann Thacher."

Mrs. Arthur Thacher, of No. 74 West Johnson Street, Ger-
mantown. Pa., thinks that descendants of Lothrop RusselF Thacher
were in 1907 living in Marblehead, Mass.

George,'' Lieut. Peter,^ Hon. Peter,^ etc.), born Saco, Me.,
May 22nd, 1825 ; he lived at Boston, Mass., and at Eureka,
Cal., shortly before his death ; called a merchant at time

of his first marriage; died , at , Cal. (it is thought).

He married, first, at Newburyport, Mass., April 3rd, 1849,
to Caroline Matilda Livingston, born October 19th, 1820,

at Newburyport, Mass. ; died , at , Cal. She was a

daughter of Captain Alexander and Abigail (Knapp) Liv-
ingston, of Newburyport, Mass.

Children : None.

George® Thacher married a second time, , at , to Mrs.

Elizabeth ( ) ? (a widow with one child) ; her maiden sur-
name and the surname of her first husband is not known to me.

Children: None.

According to George Thacher^ Cutts (No. 2134), George^
Thacher (No. 1333) had at least one daughter, viz: — Ella^ Thacher.
But according to Mrs. Lucy Savage (Thacher) Van Antwerp, he
had no children of his own, but his second wife had a child by her
first husband. Mrs. Rebecca (Thacher) Hall, of Portland, Me.,
says that he had no children of his own, but that he adopted a little
girl in her infancy. From all of the above vague and inconclusive
information I conclude that possibly the above mentioned Ella^
Thacher was the adopted daughter of George® Thacher and that
she was not of his own blood, but was the daughter of his second
wife by her first husband.

an honest, independent but singularly modest and self-contained

made."

Walter Hanford Griswold, who married Ann Elizabeth'

Samuel Betts married a Mary Webb on January 3rd, 1798, and had
a son, Samuel Betts, born at Norwalk, December 9th, 1798. It is
possible that the son Samuel Betts, born December 9th, 1798, may
have been the above Samuel Betts who married Frances* Thacher
as her first husband. This suggestion is merely a conjecture not
founded on any evidence.

George® Thacher (No. 1473) never married. Book 3, p. 25, of
Vital Records of New London, Conn., states: "George Thacher
and Miss Julia Sepson, both of this city, were lawfully married April
nth, 1826, by Isaac Stoddard, Minister." As No. 1473 was the only
George Thacher known to be of New London at this time I have
concluded that it was he who married Julia Sepson. He died shortly
after his marriage, probably without issue. In this connection see
also remarks under head of record No. 1487.

ruary 26th, 1812, at Brooklyn, N. Y. ; died March 3rd, 1900,

George Lockwood® Thatcher was a prominent business man in
the early days of Brooklyn. He had a large hat factory which
was destroyed by fire ; and as he was not insured he lost all he had.
He was afterwards appointed Secretary of the Board of Assessors
of Brooklyn and held the position for 14 years until his death.
He was a notable Mason, having been Past Master of the Hohen-
linden Lodge; High Priest of the Nassau Chapter, R. A. M., and
Past Commander of the Clinton Commandery Knights Templars.
His funeral was one of the largest ever held in Brooklyn.

The Lockwood Genealogy, pp. 294-5, states that George Lock-
wood® Thatcher married Julia ? My authority for the above

record is his son (No. 2271), who makes no mention to me of his
father's marriage to Julia ? No. 1487's marriage to Eliza

6ii

Trappal took place when he was 50 years old. It is not by any
means improbable that he may have been previously married. We
call attention here again to the marriage recorded in New London
under date of April nth, 1826, ceremony performed by Isaac Stod-
dard, minister, between George Thacher and Julia Sepson, both of
New London (See Book 3, p. 25, Vital Records of New London,
Conn.). We have under head of record No. 1473 assumed that the
George Thacher who married Julia Sepson was No. 1473. Both
Starr and Street Genealogies, however, state that No. 1473 never
married. If the Starr and Street Genealogies are correct and also
if Lockivood Genealogy, pp. 294-5, is correct and No. 1487 did
marry a Julia, then perhaps the Julia whom he married was Julia
Sepson who married a George Thacher in New London, Conn., on
April nth, 1826.

Nathaniel Woodbridge® Thatcher was named after his mother's
brother-in-law, Nathaniel Shaw Woodbridge, who married his
mother's sister, Elizabeth Mumford. He was generally known to
his friends and relatives as Woodbridge Thatcher. He left home at
an early age and went to Philadelphia to receive a business educa-
tion with his uncle DanieF Thatcher, then engaged in the wholesale
drug business in that city under the firm name of Thatcher and
Thompson. There he remained nine years. He then travelled in
the interests of the firm and in the course of his travels visited
Chillicothe, Ohio, to look after certain interests of his father. At
Chillicothe he settled and married. His father gave him the capital
to start there in the drug business and he was afterwards in the
commission business. During the Civil War he was appointed a
Government Inspector of Internal Revenue. His wife's parents
were both born in West Virginia. After her father's resignation
from the Army he resided permanently in Chillicothe. He was a
member of the First Corps of Artillerists before the War of 1812
and at the time of his resignation was Quartermaster General with
the rank of Colonel of the 8th Military District comprising the
middle West from the Alleghanies to the Mississippi. The old house
on the corner of Chestnut and High Streets was the old Swearingen
home in Chillicothe and it subsequently became the family home of
Nathaniel Woodbridge'' Thatcher.

1895, and was buried there in the Thatcher lot in Cedar Grove
Cemetery, where a monument to the memory of herself and

uary 28th, 1828, to Nathaniel Hazard Perry, an officer in the
U. S. Navy of the rank of Purser, which rank is equivalent
to the present rank of Paymaster; he was born at Newport,
R. L, November 27th, 1802 ; he resided at such places as his
service in the Navy called him to and died in New York City,
May 8th, 1832, and was buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery,
New London, Conn., in Thatcher lot. He was a son of
Captain Christopher Raymond Perry, U. S. Navy, by his
wife Sarah Wallace Alexander, who resided at Kingston and

Lucretia Mumf ord* Thatcher was named after her mother ; she
was married at the home of her parents, corner of Main and Masonic
Streets, New London, and lived there after her marriage and up to
the time of her death. Her funeral was conducted by the Rev. Dr.
Grint, of St. James' P. E. Church, New London, of which church
she had always been a communicant, and she was interred in the
Thatcher family lot in Cedar Grove Cemetery. She was left a
widow with one child when only 24 years of age; after the death
of her father, owing to the advancing years of her mother, she

6i8

assumed control of the domestic affairs of her mother and sisters
and remained until her death the head of the family. She was held
in the highest esteem by her contemporaries as well as by the younger
generations of her native town. An obituary notice of her in appro-
priate and touching terms was published in the Churchman of that
time. She was baptized and confirmed in the P. E. Church and all
of her life she was a constant and consistent communicant of that
faith. For many years she was the President of the "Cent Society'^
of New London, a ladies' charitable organization noted for its good
works and for the high character of its members.

Nathaniel Hazard Perry served twelve years in the U. S. Navy>
and at the time of his death held the rank of Purser, which rank is
the equivalent of the present rank of Paymaster. The greater part
of his Navy service was in the Mediterranean Sea on the U. S.
ships North Carolina, Erie and Fairfield, in which last named vessel
he visited Trieste, Austria, his ship being the first U. S. man-of-war
to visit that port. He also served in the West Indies, where he con-
tracted the yellow fever, the effects of which ultimately causing his
death. He joined the Masonic Order of Gibraltar and became a
Royal Arch Mason, his diploma for such degree being preserved by
his son. He came of a family justly celebrated in the honorable
records of the U. S. Navy, and, but for his untimely death, would
undoubtedly have added to a career of honorable service a lustre
equivalent to that of his illustrious father and brothers. The serv-
ices of his father in the U. S. Navy were of a most distinguished
character and need not be mentioned here. A portrait of Captain
Christopher Raymond Perry and his wife Sarah Wallace Alexander
may be seen in the volume entitled the Perrys of Rhode Island, pub-
lished in 1913, and written by the Rev. Calbraith Bourn Perry.
Nathaniel Hazard Perry was a brother of Oliver Hazard Perry,
Commodore U. S. Navy, of Lake Erie fame ; a brother of Raymond
Henry Jones Perry, Lieut. Commander U. S. Navy; a brother of
Sarah Wallace Perry, who died not married ; a brother of Matthew
Calbraith Perry, Commander U. S. Navy, celebrated for having
opened the ports of Japan and whose daughter subsequently became
the wife of August Belmont, one of the leading bankers and finan-
ciers of the United States ; a brother of Anna Maria Perry, who
became the wife of Commodore John Rodgers, U. S. Navy; a
brother of Jane Tweedy Perry, who married Dr. William Butler,
Surgeon, U. S. Navy, and became the mother of U. S. Senator Mat-
thew Calbraith Butler, of South Carolina; a brother of James
Alexander Perry, Midshipman, U. S. Navy, associated with his
brother Oliver Hazard Perry at the Battle of Lake Erie, and to
whom a sword of honor was voted by Congress in consideration of
his serv^ices.

himself which he continued for some three years until the panic of
1848-9, when he was compelled to close out as he could not collect
his bills due him. At that time he owned a farm of 262 acres in
Scalesmound, 111., to which he moved and opened a general store
suitable for country trade. He was there appointed Postmaster, the
position being created for him and the Post Office named Thatcher
Post Office by the influence of E. B. Washburne, Secretary of the
Treasury. He was there fairly successful in business and bought
80 acres of land for a farm and closed his store and Post Office and
lived on the farm for about three years, when he made a profitable
sale and removed to Chicago, 111., on April 27th, 1863. At that
time several men of capital had moved from Galena to Chicago who
were friends of Mr. Thatcher, among them J. Russell Jones, U. S.
Marshal, and they bought the West Division of the Chicago Street
Railway system. Mr. Jones at once gave Mr. Thatcher the position
of Receiver of Fares and he retained that office for three years and
was then appointed Purchasing Agent for the Company, in which
capacity he served three years and was then made Mr. Jones' pri-
vate secretary, which position he held until the Company sold out
to a Philadelphia syndicate. When Mr. Jones was made Minister

to Brussels, Mr. Thatcher was made U. S. Deputy Marshal to take
the Census of the 13th Ward of Chicago, he being at the same time
employed in the Chicago Street Railway Company. During Mr.
Thatcher's life in Bridgeport, Conn., he held a commission as First
Lieutenant and Captain in the Connecticut Militia.

at New London, Conn., at her parents' house, corner of
Main and Masonic Streets ; she was baptized in the Protestant
Episcopal Church in New London, Conn., September 2nd,
1832 ; she died at New London, Conn., in her home at Mrs.
Graham's boarding house, corner of Federal and Union
Streets, January 31st, 1906, and was buried there in Cedar
Grove Cemetery in the Thatcher lot, where a gravestone was
erected to her memory and to that of her husband. She was

eral James Totten,* U. S. Army, who graduated at the West

*The silhouettes of General (then Captain) James Totten and his wife
Julia Hubbell (Thatcher) Totten which illustrate this record were cut at
Saratoga, New York, in August 1844, by August Edouart, the celebrated
silhouettist of France and England, who was the appointed silhouettist to
the Royal Family in France.

In 1839 Edouart visited the United States and here remained 10 years
during which time he cut between three and four thousand silhouettes of
well known Americans and their wives and families. It was the custom with
this artist when cutting the silhouette to cut it in duplicate, one copy he
delivered to his patron and one he kept himself upon which copy he had his
patron place his signature and the date of the sitting, to which the artist
himself added a note as to height, weight and color of eyes and hair of the
patron ; this retained copy the artist placed in his scrap book for future
reference. In 1849 Edouart sailed for home on the Ship Oneida and on
the return voyage to France on December 19th, 1849, the vessel was wrecked
off the coast of the Island of Guernsey, and while most of the baggage was
lost, Edouart's chests containing his scrap books were saved and brought
ashore. Edouart himself was taken into the home of an inhabitant of the
island and most hospitably treated after his tragic experience ; and on
leaving presented to the daughter of his host, Frederica Lukis, his entire
collection of silhouttes which had been so fortunately saved. This collection
passed from Frederica Lukis to her grandson who in time sold
it to Mrs. F. Nevill Jackson of London, Eng., and many of the English
silhouettes found their way into museums and galleries in England; and in
1913 the American silhouettes of the collection (the last that Edouart ever
cut) came to this country and were displayed for sale by Arthur S. Vernay.

Notice was sent to me by Mr. Vernay of the existence in the collection
of these two portraits of my parents, of the existence of which I was in
complete ignorance, as the originals had disappeared during the varied army
career of my father and mother; and I visited the gallery very skeptical
as to the authenticity of the protraits. I was at once convinced of their
genuineness by the marked resemblance to herself of my mother's protrait,
and by her undeniable signature on the back of the silhouette, and also of
the validity of my father's portrait from his signature which was the same
in 1844 as at the time of his death in 1871. In both cases the physical
description written by Edouart on the back of each silhouette tallied with

The Gibbs' family lot in West Genoa Cemetery at King's Ferry,
N. Y., has in it only three gravestones: those of Henry Gibbs,
Wei then Gibbs and Nancy Thatcher. Henry Gibbs died June 17,
1868, aged 85 years (hence born 1788). Welthen Gibbs died April
9th, 1880, aged 92 years, 4 mo. and 20 days (hence born November
19th, 1787). Henry and Welthen Gibbs may have been the parents
of Roland Thacher Gibbs. Nancy Thatcher was the aunt of Mrs.
Roland Thacher Gibbs and was the daughter of Jethro^ Thacher,
see Record No. 325 and also Record No. 886. I presume that
Welthen Gibbs really means Wealthy Ann Gibbs and that she was
the wife of Henry Gibbs, as the dates of their births and deaths are
such as to suggest that they were husband and wife. It is possible
that Henry Gibbs was the grandson of John Gibbs of Sandwich,
Mass., who married Jerusha® Thacher, see record No. 339.

Arnold's Vital Records of Rhode Island, Vol. X, p. 529, states
that No. 1644, was baptized at Trinity P. E. Church, Newport, R. I.,
December 28th, 1802, which statement is obviously incorrect as his
parents were not married until October ist, 1808. The family rec-
ords state that he was the oldest child according to Miss Mary
Ingersoll Locke, so I have placed his date of birth as 1809 or 18 10
for the reason that the second child of his parents died August 4th,
181 1, and hence must have been born on or previous to that date.

a physician of Stoughton, Mass. ; hence born 1823. As
Abigail Fearing^ (Sears) Howland-Palmer lived to marry
a third time, October 30th, 1881, to George Waterman, it
seems impossible that this George W. Palmer (son of

William and Mary ( ) Palmer) could have married

Emma Elwood^ (Blackmer) Douglas on March ist, 1880,
unless he was previously divorced from Abigail Fearing^
(Sears) Howland previous to that date, or unless again on
the basis of the fact that there were two George W. Palm-
ers, both sons of a William and Mary ( ) Palmer, one

born in 1823 in New York City and one born in August
— , 1821, in England. The records seem confused. I
give them for what they are worth. Also note that if
Emma Elwood^ (Blackmer) Douglas married on March
1st, 1880, she married on the day of her death according
to one authority as to her death. Again if she died
January 30th, 1880, she could not have married on March
1st, 1880, as on that date she was dead.

I2th, 1856, at Rochester, Mass., by Rev. Joseph L Whitte-

more, to Charles A Howland (son of Thomas H

and ( ) Howland), of Fairhaven, Mass., born ,

1832, about (he was 24 years old at marriage); she married,

second, September 4th, 1870, to George W Palmer

(son of William and Mary ( ) Palmer) as his second

wife, born , 1823 (he was 47 years old at second mar-
riage), he lived at Long Plain, Mass.; she married a third

time, October 30th, 1(881, at , to George Waterman as

his third wife (son of Barnabas Waterman by his wife Sally'^

Thacher, see No. 975), born , 1805 ; he was 76 years old

at his third marriage, see No. 1634; his first wife was Lucy
Ditson (or Delano) ; name of second wife not known. She,
No. 1676, is said to have married a fourth time. I have,
however, no record of this fourth marriage.

By reference to record No. 1673 it will be seen that Emma

Elwood^ Blackmer, the second child of Emma M ^ (Sears) Black-

mer, is recorded as having married as her second husband, on

March ist, 1880, to George W Palmer (son of William and

Mary ( ) Palmer), who was 58 years and 7 months old at

this marriage and hence was born about August i, 1821. The
George W. Palmer who married as stated above on September 4th,
1870, to Abigail Fearing^ (Sears) Howland as her second husband is
also given as a son of William and Mary ( ) Palmer, and as

659

he was said to have been 47 years old at this second marriage, he
was born about 1823. On the face of it, it looks as if the George
W. Palmer who married Abigail Fearing^ (Sears) Rowland, Sep-
tember 4th, 1870, as her second husband, was the same George W.
Palmer who married Emma Elwood^ Blackmer as her second hus-
band on March ist, 1880. This, however, could not be so (unless
some divorce or separation permitted it) as Abigail Fearing^ (Sears)
Howland-Palmer is said to have lived to have married a third time,
October 30th, 1881, to George Waterman as his third wife. This
entire record of No. 1676 I have endeavored to clear up, but, I am
by no means satisfied with the result of my investigations and give
my notes thereon for the benefit of those who may come after to
clear up. It is apparent that there were either two George W.

Palmers (each a son of a William and Mary ( ) Palmer) or else

that the year date of the marriage of George W. Palmer to Emma
Elwood" (Blackmer) Douglas is incorrectly recorded. See remarks
under head of record No. 1673.

his first wife, whose maiden name and parentage is not as yet

"Taunton, Mass., February loth, 1862, James H. Thatcher, of
Taunton, aged 21 (hence born about 1841), carpenter, born Taun-
ton, son of VVilHam and Abbie (Douglas) Thatcher, was married
to Harriet Brown of New Bedford, aged 20 (hence born about
1842), born at New Bedford, Mass., daughter of George and Sarah

( ) Brown; married by Rev. S. Nickerson." I have been unable

to definitely locate the parents of this James H. Thatcher in my rec-
ords and suggest that in as much as his father's name is given as
William that maybe his father was the above, No. 2029. This is not
a proven fact, but simply a possibility, the accuracy of which is to be
proven by further investigation.

Page 299, No. 233. Captain Isaac Gorham was born April 30th, 1752; his
father married Abigail*' (Hallett) Gorham, April 30th, 1747. Captain Isaac
Gorham married a second time, August — , 1809, to Elizabeth (Hallett) Crowell,
All of this on the authority of Yarmouth Register Cape Cod Families, No. 87,
p. 5.

Page 304, No. 236. From Census of Pensioners in the United States in
184.0, we secure the name of Polly Thacher of Yarmouth, who was 82 years old
in 1840. 1840 less 82 equals 1758. It would therefore appear that the pen-
sioner Polly Thacher was probably the widow of Col. Thomas* Thacher
(No. 236).

Page 308, No. 797, From the burying ground at St. John's New Brunswick,
we obtain the following inscriptions, viz: —

1st " In memory of Rebekah, the wife of Thatcher Sears, who died 13th

of July, 1803, aged 45 years."

2nd "Sacred to the memory of Mr. Thatcher Sears, who departed this

life, A.D. 1819, aged 67; he was a Connecticut Loyalist, &c., &c."

Page 313, No. 26;i. In the record of the Hollis Street Church in Boston,

Mass. (on file in the City Hall, Boston), we find this entry: — "Mary Thacher

died November 9th, 1815, aged 80 years." Hence she was born about 1735. It

is more than probable that this Mary Thacher of the Hollis Street Church was

the second wife and widow of No. 260.

Page 317, No. 266. In the ^V. V. Gen. and Biog, Record, vol. xxxiv, p. 298
(in an article on Christ Church Records of Salem, Westchester Co., N. Y.), we
find this entry: — "1812. December 19th, departed this life, Isaac Hayes, aged
45;" hence he was born 1767. It would appear that this Isaac Hayes was
possibly a son of Ann* Thacher, No. 266, by her husband Isaac Hayes, and if
such was the case he was possibly a twin with No. 840.

Page 318, No. 269. According to Mrs. Mary A. Hearn (a descendant of
No. 269) of Cobleskill, N. Y., Daniel* Thacher was married at Norwalk, Conn.,

1917, at his home No. 33 Percival Street, Dorchester, Mass., after an illness of

Forest Hills, Mass., and placed in family tomb in Dorchester North Burial
Ground. He was in the paint business and about 1915 built a large factory
under the firm hame of " Means and Thacher, Incorporated," at Quincy, Mass.
He was a member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce and of the " Paint and
Oil Club" of Boston, and of many Masonic bodies, in which order he was very
prominent, having had the 33rd degree conferred upon him in 191 5.

Page 601, No. 1462, 4th line from bottom of page. George Hungerford'
Thacher should read George Hanford' Thacher.

Page 609, No. 1484. From the Middle Patent Burying Ground, near North
Castle, Westchester Co., N. Y., we secure the following graveyard inscriptions; —

I. "Thatcher — Emma Matilda, daughter of George and Clarissa J

Thatcher, died September 4th, i860, aged 4 years, 6 months"
[hence born March — , 1856].

I. "Thatcher, George E , died April i6th, 1862, aged 39 years, 7

months and 19 days" [hence born August 28th, 1822J.

The question is, could this George E Thatcher have been No. 2269 (son

of No. 1484). According to Holden's Descendants of/^oderi LocAwood and a.\so
according to Seileck's Norwalk, p. 457, No. 2269 died "very young." If these
two authorities are correct in their statements, then the above graveyard in-
scriptions could not be on the grave of No. 2269. It has occurred to me that
perhaps No. 1484 had a second son, George E. Thatcher, born after No. 2270,
and that he may have been the one whose gravestone we note above. If this
surmise is correct then we have a fifth child of Philo* and Cynthia (Lockwood)
Thatcher.

2270a V. George E ^ Thatcher, born August 28th, 1822; died April

i6th, 1862, aged 39 years, 7 months and 19 days, and was
buried at North Castle, Westchester Co., N. Y., in Middle

Patent Burying Ground; married , to Clarissa J

(whose maiden surname and parentage is not yet determined),
born , at ; died , at .

Child: I (Thatcher) daughter.

i. Emma Matilda,'" born March — , 1856, died September 4th,

i860, aged 4 years and 6 months, and was buried in Middle

Patent Graveyard, North Castle, N. Y.

This is a question to be definitely settled. I know of no other George (or

George E ) Thatcher to meet the requirements of the graveyard inscription

except the one supplied by the above argument.

Page 617, No. 2303 should read No. 2302.

Page 635, No. 1569. According to the Barber Genealogy, pp. 167-8, No.
1569 died on December 4th, 1869, but I am inclined to think December 14th,
1869, is correct.

Page 637, No. 1572. Barber Genealogy, pp. 167-8, incorrectly states that
Seth Dickinson Graves died July loth, 1873; according to statement of his son
Miles Wells^ Graves he died July 30th, 1873.

Page 638, No. 1573. According to Barber Genealogy, pp. 167-8 Eliel
Tobev^ Thacher died December nth, 1894, which is incorrect; his age at death
should read 82 years, 9 months and 19 days.

Page 639, Nos. 2371 and 2372 should read -f-2371 and +2372.

Page 651, No. 1656, should read as follows: —

first child), at , to Wilson Jarvis Hunt of Newton Center, Mass. ;

he was a lawyer and was born January 9th, 1818, at Pennington,
N. J.; died May 24th, 1885, at Newton Center, Mass. He was a
son of John Welch of Boston, Mass., and his wife, Elizabeth (Hunt)
Welch, who lived in Boston, corner of Beacon and Park Streets.

by the small Roman numerals.
